The year is the 400th anniversary of the Authorized Version of the English-language Bible that often goes by the name of the monarch who commissioned the translation. It was a tremendous theological, scholarly, and literary achievement, producing the most influential book in the English language. The American Bible Society is holding an academic conference on July 9th to mark the 400th anniversary of the King James Bible, along with an exhibition charting the history of the KJV. As part of the conference, N.T. Wright will be in town and is preaching around the corner for the First Things office at Calvary-St. George Episcopal Church (21st and Park Avenue South) on Sunday morning at 11am. Well worth attending.
While I have you, can I ask you something? I’ll be quick.
Twenty-five thousand people subscribe to First Things. Why can’t that be fifty thousand? Three million people read First Things online like you are right now. Why can’t that be four million?
Let’s stop saying “can’t.” Because it can. And your year-end gift of just $50, $100, or even $250 or more will make it possible.
How much would you give to introduce just one new person to First Things? What about ten people, or even a hundred? That’s the power of your charitable support.
